This carpet was bought in Bursa, Turkey and is 6 feet by almost 4 feet (44 1/2"). It's all wool and is soft and pliable. I'm wondering if the colours might not be a little unusual after I looked around the Internet a little it seems that most have a lot of blue, but I could be wrong since I haven't seen many.
I have no idea how old it is. We bought it around 20 years ago and it was used at the time. It's also has no defects and is clean.
What do you think would be a reasonable price to ask for this carpet?
I forgot to add that we paid around $500. for it.
Also, I've just added a scan of a card I have about the carpet in Turkish. Can anyone tell me what it says? Thank you for your help!

I'm sure it wasn't but a couple years old when you bought it but they all say they are used or old or something to get your
interest. As for what you can get now for it, take what you can get if you want to sell. Rugs are way down unless it's really
special and nice old rugs that size are selling for $500 wholesale.

Thanks for your comments Ed. I now have an idea around what price I can ask for it or can hope to get. There is someone interested in it and in a couple of other carpets we have. I hope to post those as well soon. Thanks to everyone helping and joining into this forum! It's very useful for the likes of me!
